A MESSAGE TO COLLECTORS

I have set up a private discussion forum for serious Bruce Springsteen record and CD collectors. The goal of this forum is not to replace the Greasy Lake collectors subforum or the Facebook collectors group, but an alternative to these back-and-forth emails I have been exchanging with some collectors concerning in-depth discussion about certain Springsteen collectibles.

If you are interested, register on the forum and separately send me an email telling me who you are and what is your username so that I can approve your registration. I cannot explain everything here in this short message, so please let me know by email if you have any questions or comments.

This SBM reissue was released on 21 Dec 1995 in a limited quantity, along with the 2nd SMB reissue of "Born To Run". It sold out very quickly and has now become very hard to find. The CD uses the Super Bit Mapping (SBM) noise shaping process. This issue features LP-style packaging that replicates the original "Born In The U.S.A." LP. The CD comes in an oversized cardboard sleeve. The sleeve also includes a 50x25cm folded paper lyrics insert in Japanese and English and a 10x15cm folded cardboard questionnaire. The sleeve is housed in a protective PVC slipcase with SBM logo. An obi strip is folded over the left side of the slipcase.
